WDYT?

Husband and I went shopping at the local BiLo we were checked out by: Marquishia My husband says her name is pronounced (MAR-QUE-SHA) so I am guessing the i's are silent?

wdyt?

Well, the word "marquis" is pronounced "mar-kee".

Should make it "Mar-kee-sha", in my head.

Yeah, I was thinking 'Mar-KEE-sha', because of 'Marquis', and 'Alicia'.

Hmm, I actually said it right the first time without looking at how it was pronounced. It's still pretty bad, just not as bad as it looks.

I knew a girl in middle school who pronounced it Mar-QUEE-sha. Her name may not have had the extra i in the end...
